To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, EDWARD S. SPRINGER I and JOHN L. MALONEY, citizensof the United States, residing at Leavenworth, in the county ofLeavenworth and State of Kansas, have invented a new and usefulGas-Burner, of which the following is a speci iication.

This invention relates to gas burners of that general class shown anddescribed in Letters Patent issued to us on the 12th day of March 1907under No. 847210 and of which the present case forms a divisionalapplication.

The object of the invention is to provide a burner including a sectionalcasing having one longitudinal edge thereof bent upwardly and providedwith'a plurality of spaced jet orifices for deflecting the flamelaterally in contact with the surface to be heated.

A still further object of the invention is to generally improve thisclass of devices so as to increase their utility, durability andefficiency.

Further objects and advantages will appear in the following description,it being understood that various changes in form, proportions and minordetails of construction may be resorted to Within the scope of theappended claims.

In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification:Figure 1 is a perspective view of a gas burner constructed in accordancewith my invention. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view of the same.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all of thefigures of the drawings.

The improved burner forming the subject matter of the present inventionincludes a casing preferably trapezoidal in shape, as shown, and formedin two sections 5 and 6 detachably secured together by bolts or similarfastening devices 7. The upper section 5 is provided with a concavedportion forming a gas chamber 8 and formed in the lower section andcommunicating with the gas chamber is an inlet opening 9 the walls ofcorrespondingly threaded walls of a fuel supply pipe 10. Each sectionof' the casing is provided with a marginal laterally extending flange 11having spaced perforations formed therein for the reception of thefastening devices 7.

@The flanges at one longitudinal edge of the casing are of greater widththan the flanges at the opposite edge thereof and are bent upwardly inspaced relation to form parallel lips 12 and 13. The lower inclined lip12 is provided with a plurality of spaced lugs or artitions 14 definingintermediate jet ori 'ces 15. The lugs 14 extend from the free edge ofthe lip 12 to the flat base 16 of the lower section of the casing whilethe lower surface of the lip 13 at its juncture with the section 5 isprovided with a flat shoulder 17 preferably disposed parallel with theflat face 16 and which serves to direct the gas from the chamber 8 tothe jet orifices. It will thus be seen that the gas entering through thesupply pipe 10 will come in contact with the upper wall of the chamber 8and thence be deflected downwardly and laterally through the contractedneck formed by the shoulder 17 and thence pass upwardly between the lugsto the jet orifices where it will be ignited and the flame directed incontact with the surface to be heated. Attention is here called to thefact that the angle or inclination of the lips 12 and 13 serves todirect the flame upwardly in parallel jets and thereby materiallyincrease the efficiency of the burner.

Should the burner become clogged with deposits of carbon or otherforeign matter the same may be readily cleaned by removing the fasteningdevices 7, as will be readily understood.

While it is preferred to use the burner in connection with sectionalwater leg boilers it is obvious that the same may be used with equallygood results in heating or cooking stoves, furnaces or wherever a burnerof this character is found desirable.

Having thus described the invention what is claimed is:

1. A gas burner including a casing provided with an inlet and having onelongitudinal edge thereof bent upwardly to form spaced inclined lips,lugs formed on one of said lips and defining a plurality of intermediatejet orifices, and a shoulder formed on the mating lip at the juncture ofsaid lip with the casing.

2. A gas burner including a casin comprising detachable sections eachformed with a laterally extending perforated flange, the flanges on oneside of the casing being longer than the flanges on the opposite sidethereof and bent upwardly to form inclined lips, one of said lips beingprovided with spaced lugs adapted to engage the adjacent lip anddefining intermediate jet orifices, a shoulder formed on the other lipat its juncture with the casing, and fastening devices extending throughthe perforations in the flanges for detachably securing the sections inengagement with each other.

3. A gas burner including a casing having an interior gas chamber andprovided with a flat lower wall pierced by an inlet opening, the lowerlongitudinal edge of the casing being bent upwardly to form inclinedlips, lugs formed on one of the lips'and extending from the free edgethereof to the flat base of the gas chamber, said lugsforming spaced jetorifices, there being a shoulder formed on the opposite lip at itsjuncture with the casing.

4;. A gas burner including a substantially trapezoidal casing comprisingtwo sections 20 each formed with a laterally extending perforatedflange, one of said sections being confices, and means extendinthrough'the perforations in the flanges for detachably securing thesections in assembled position.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our own, we have heretoaflixed our signatures in the presence of two witnesses.
